Bustles 'n' Bows - Dolly September 1986

Seeing as it's now the beginning of Autumn here in Australia, I thought this soft and dreamy Fashion Workshop spread featuring bows and bustles would be apt.  It's so soft and feminine and kinda reminds me of British pop stars Pepsi and Shirley.  Hope everyone had a fantastic Easter !!

The Centre Of Attention - POL Magazine February 1980

Stunning Australian fashion here by YA-YA Oblique, of which I could not find a scrap of information about, unfortunately, but that's what I love about finding these magazines - the showcasing of independent Australian designers of the time.  I love the use of shapes in the clothes and seriously want the entire outfit in the last shot (oh and probably all of the other ones too).

French Dressing - Dolly September 1987

September 1987
Model Aliya
Photography Graham Shearer

Another fantastic spread featuring Emma Balfour with photography by Grant Matthews.  Emma Balfour definitely suits the French theme and I particularly like the shot by the vintage bar.  The shot where she's wearing the Lindy Lane ra-ra skirt is gorgeous as well - hmmm I've never seen anyone look that good at my supermarket!
